With Bryan Fuller taking his shot at editing FANGORIA #343, the wait for HANNIBAL to return has become an even more difficult endeavor for fright fans. However, Fuller was able to sneak FANGORIA onto the set of HANNIBAL last month, and we were able to catch up with the brilliant cast of the surreal series. Our third chat was with Jack Crawford himself, Laurence Fishburne, who returns for the brink of death to once again hunt Dr. Lecter…

For a franchise nine films deep, it’s surprising that there are so few universally beloved HELLRAISER films. Aside from the undeniably frightening original and, arguably, the nightmarish fever dream of HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II, each HELLRAISER film has a critically polarizing stance among fright fans, especially once the series’ transparent status of “existing scripts refashioned for HELLRAISER” comes into play. However, the first sequel to undergo said process is also one of the strongest of the HELLRAISER sequels, trading in a big-screen budget for a genuinely creepy and stylish affair that introduced the world to SINISTER/EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE director Scott Derrickson.

The journey from announcement to conception for Showtime’s TWIN PEAKS revival has been nearly as surreal and backwards as the series itself, with David Lynch’s exit and subsequent return being the the cherry on top. But now, it finally seems that everything is falling into place, and according to reliable fan site WELCOME TO TWIN PEAKS, the series will be back in a bigger way than any fan could have imagined as Sherilyn Fenn and Sheryl Lee made a few excellent announcements during the Twin Peaks’ panel at Seattle’s Crypticon.

With Bryan Fuller taking his shot at editing FANGORIA #343, the wait for HANNIBAL to return has become an even more difficult endeavor for fright fans. However, Fuller was able to sneak FANGORIA onto the set of HANNIBAL last month, and we were able to catch up with the brilliant cast of the surreal series. Our second chat was with man behind HANNIBAL’s titular terror, actor Mads Mikkelsen, who offered up a tantalizing taste of what’s on Dr. Lecter’s plate this season…

After Joe Dante’s contemplative, character-building episode last week, SALEM switches gears in the best way possible with it’s eighth episode “Dead Birds”, offering one of the most wicked episodes so far this season. Under the incredibly game and skilled direction of Alex Kalymnios, the script from Joe Menosky and Adam Simon offers an episode that oozes sex, gore, surrealism and legitimately powerful drama, all the while firmly wiping the cloud of mystery from our eyes as per the allegiances and strategies of the witch war. And in doing so, SALEM also confidently opens the audience to the world around our characters, diving into the past of Increase Mather as well as the reality around the fantasy that’s so often indulged in the series.

For this writer, there are few films that were as unique, engrossing and breathtaking as Evan Glodell’s BELLFLOWER, an experimental love story with a truly independent aesthetic and taste for cinematic mayhem. After the film’s release, a close eye was kept on what would be next for Glodell and his Coatwolf production team. Sure enough, their next project was something even more suited for this writer’s sensibilities: CHUCK HANK AND THE SAN DIEGO TWINS, a love letter to side-scrolling video games and the anarchy-laden spirit of crazy ‘80s action filmmaking.

With Bryan Fuller taking his shot at editing FANGORIA #343, the wait for HANNIBAL to return has become an even more difficult endeavor for fright fans. However, Fuller was able to sneak FANGORIA onto the set of HANNIBAL last month, and we were able to catch up with the brilliant cast of the surreal series. First up was Will Graham himself, Chainsaw Award-nominee Hugh Dancy, who spoke to FANGORIA about the transition between seasons and the peculiarities of Will and Hannibal’s flawed friendship…

This year’s POLTERGEIST is a fairly solid, well-directed supernatural thriller whose most serious problem is being based on a past classic, one whose key elements have already been replicated in numerous other films.

In last night’s series finale of THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, fans of comedy saw an end of an era with one of the funniest and most brutally honest talk show hosts stepping down after more than 30 years on the air. In addition, Letterman was, in essence, the last of the old guard to leave the late night talk show circle, with Conan O’Brien now seemingly being the veteran among the hosts the dominate after hours television. But as much as hosts like Letterman and Conan did to further the art of comedy, late night talk shows have also been some of the platforms on which the other side of the horror genre has been explored, helping mainstream audiences see the other side of the fright icons we know and love. So with that in mind, FANGORIA wanted to present our top 10 moments from late night talk shows over the course of horror history, which you can see below!

Let’s be honest: it must be pretty surreal to be Robert Kirkman nowadays. Being one of the creators of the immensely popular WALKING DEAD comic and TV series, he’s since parlayed his momentum onto new comic ventures and even an upcoming Cinemax series, OUTCAST, which will see YOU’RE NEXT vet Adam Wingard helming the pilot. But Kirkman, rarely the type to take a breather, has currently got his eyes on crafting the next chapter of the WALKING DEAD with the highly anticipated spin-off, FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. Kirkman recently took part in a conference call to talk about FEAR THE WALKING DEAD, and FANGORIA wrangled some exciting details about the upcoming series…

At the end of the animated film RATATOUILLE, a food-critic character has the following epiphany: “…the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.” I disagree; I’ll bet this review of THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 3 (FINAL SEQUENCE) will offer more entertainment than sitting through the movie itself.

Fantasy and myth are powerful things. Not only in how they can inspire the imagination, but in how they can cloud reason and judgment, and cause horrible events to occur in a cloud of superstition. This wary view of mythology is the ironic driving force behind FORBIDDEN EMPIRE, a dark fantasy adventure film that delivers a new take on the Ukrainian folk story “Viy” from Russian author Nikolai Gogol.
